The Official ATP Tennis thread

he’s done nothing wrong but made it to federer in the draw.

i wanna like murray in the finals but not too sure if i can bet against fed.

6-2, 6-3, 6-2 And with that we have Federer vs Murray.

The interesting thing. Murray is 6-4 against Federer on Hard Court

And DAMN! I didn’t know Murray was only 22…I thought he was like…25 or 26

im not sure if you were watching that match, but wtf? no one else was surprised how bad tsonga was playing??? he might as well played with my backhand tonight.

anyway, i wanted fed to win, cause now this match is pretty hype. should be amazing if andy doesnt choke.

yeah i was watching. its like tsonga didnt want to move at all.

One set all, games getting interesting

Super ninja edit

And with super mega hyper rage Mode, Serena just dominates the final game of the final set and tore with some monster serves.

She wins 6-4 3-6 6-2

Pretty nice Paycheck after winning that and doubles with Venus.

Amazing performance by Henin as well.

Edit cause im edit happy.

Definitely some fun Tennis. I didn’t get to see the hit for haiti, but it is definitely worth watching. VERY entertaining

wow i totally forgot this was on.

sucks that henin lost.

fed gets the early break

edit: fed takes the first set 6-3 and up 3-1 in the second set

Straights.

the fed takes it in str8s

fed was in control most of the match, it got tight in the 3rd but fed pulls it out in the tiebreak

Great breaker. Murray should have played like that the whole time. That second set was atrocious.

i thought murray was gonna put up a better fight. really wanna see him win one.

man murray got so caught up in the first 2 sets of trying to play STRICTLY to feds backhand and not mixing that shit up whatsoever. it’s true feds backhand is his weaker side but it’s hella underrated because his forehand is a killer. in the 3rd set murray finally mixed it up and made fed think, well it was too late then son. IF murray would have won that breaker his body wouldn’t have survived the 4th set let alone the 5th.

looks like nadal won’t be 100 percent for the french, GG tour fed is gonna win the french. i’m betting on him winning the calendar grandslam.

i was disappointed with murray as well, i feel the same way he didnt mix it up enough only hitting to feds backhand, feds forehand isnt that amazing when its not on his terms so people shouldnt be afraid to mix it up to his forehand. whatever, maybe next time.

also, how you going to say gonzalez lulz you. that shit is halarious i think that comment was made during the roddick game where that fool had like 80+ winners. ive never heard of gonzo luling people in my life until this thread.

If you hit it to Federer’s forehand and he’s not shanking balls like first set Davydenko, he will make you pay. If your balls sits up just slightly he will run around and blast it, either hitting a winner or setting himself up to be in control. Murray just needs a looping lefty forehand with western grip ala Nadal.

and a fresh set of balls(no homo). between him and djokovic they can come up with the lamest possible injuries/problems when they start losing. they both need to learn to man up on the big stage. i’ve never seen nadal or fed play with the back or thighs for a set when they are down to give excuse unto why they are losing.

ive seen nadal use injury excuses, the lamest one being an injury time out for blisters on his feet. it was against ferrer or ferrero one of them, on clay. i almost started laughing.

also, thats why i said to hit forehands not on his terms, meaning when you are set up to smack a solid shot to his forehand, nothing defensive. people also need to start making him pay for his slice backhand return, however that is probably easier said than done, that thing looks like it has so much fucking slice. you could serve and volley but there are not that many who would do it successfully. they asked some legend, i forgot who maybe borg, how he would beat fed and he said he would serve and volley more so maybe he sees something there as well.

Yeah, I agree. The key shot to beat Federer is an outstanding up the line shot to his forehand with the backhand if you are right handed. Nalbandian has it, Davydenko had it for a set and a half, and Safin from the old days. Murray has a solid enough backhand for that.

any picks for a french open winner this year?

the favorite is always nadal but that guy cant stay healthy for shit. prolly roger if nobody can step up on clay.

yo here are some highlights from some matches that were pretty outstanding. gonzo vs monaco at around 5:00 mark gonzo hits the most rediculous forehand.

and here is one gonzo vs ferrero at wimbledon, epic 5 setter.
